How is the tuition price determined?

We rent out college campuses and hire highly qualified teachers and Residential Educators to ensure that the students are receiving a quality experience, which is a large part of the tuition price. Additionally, our tuition includes all lodging, meals, instruction, field trips and cultural activities, as well as shuttle service to and from designated airports. The only money students are expected to bring is a small amount of pocket money for souvenirs. The many services provided by the program contribute to our expenses. However, we do offer financial aid for our U.S. immersion locations.

Are there tuition payment plans?

For the early, discounted prices, we do not offer payment plans since it's a pay-in-full savings deadline. Otherwise, you could certainly pay on a payment plan through May 31st when the full tuition is due. Additionally, families who apply and qualify for financial aid, lock in the tuition rate at the time when they apply, and can arrange to make tuition payment plans with our enrollment team.

How do I lock in the discounted price?

To ensure early bird pricing, you need to start the online application and pay your tuition in full before the deadline. The student essay and grades can be submitted later.

Do you offer reduced pricing for children who cannot attend to program for its full duration?

No. Students who are planning on leaving the program early to attend another summer camp or to go on family vacation will be required to pay the full tuition amount. If for some reason your child were not accepted, you would be refunded your tuition payment in full.

How is tuition billed?

We can either charge the balance to your credit card on file, or you can pay online with a different credit card or eCheck. You could also send us a paper check addressed to Middlebury Interactive Languages™ here:
